> Just after passing through the traffic lights on Brougham street, heading towards the Tannery, there is a significant pothole in the right lane just near the traffic island. I had no room to move out of the way to avoid this as a truck was in the lane so I struck the pothole doing 45km and my car immediately shook. I pulled over within 1 minute where I could do so safely and the pothole had ripped a hole in my tyre. I changed the puncture and go it looked it straight away and the mechanic was surprised to see a huge rip and it cost over $150 to be replaced! Please can you fix this asap as it is an incredibly busy area and it was a very costly exercise not to mention the time lost having to visit a garage and arrange a friend to help me replace the tyre. I was 1 hour late to work.
